For me this was a so-so book describing the story of a Nigerian girl in Nigeria and in UK. Although it is a very sad story it did not grip me.

Fab-u-lous!! Ok, so it wouldn't win any awards, but it made me laugh out loud, even on the bus (earned me some funny looks that did!) Simon is a fantastic little amateur sleuth, and I want to retire to Snupperton Mumsley!

I didn't like the analogies at first, then got used to them. Now thoroughly enjoying Death's explanations and commentary. Finished the book a few days ago. Well done, I really enjoyed it. Quite imaginative.

First line: "Oh, love me, Jack, love me!" The Frenchwoman's passion-frenzied hands, so small and dainty in repose, now resembled the claws of a silver bird of prey tearing at the tender skin of his back, as Jack O'Connell, Irish soldier of fortune, rakehell, gambler, thief, cutpurse, occasional highwayman, and all-around rascal, strove with all his might, bull-like strength, and not inconsiderable will to obey his rapacious mistress. Unfortunately the quote above is about the heroine's father, not the hero. The book opens with Jack O'Connell, occupation Randy Irish Lad Roaming Europe, having an interrupted night of passion with a near-albino French vixen noblewoman and getting ejected into the night with his life barely intact. Several years later, Jack and his erstwhile crony, drunken priest Father Liam, run across a scruffy imp called Angel with silver hair and gray eyes. Jack, drunken womanizer that he is, doesn't see any similarities to his long-ago one-night-stand and he and Liam become adoptive daddies to the foul-mouthed little Satan worshipper (she says Lucifer is her pop). To protect her virtue, they dress her as a boy, but she gets some schooling in the female social niceties from an old retired classy whore-friend of Jack's. (Of course it turns out to be advantageous later.) One night, Angel (now called Jackie McKier) and Liam are setting up a fake mugging on the street to lure in a do-gooder, who they will then rob. The hero, the Duke of Avalon (aka "Satan" Blade), suspects what they're up to and hauls them into his den of iniquity and says he won't sic the law on them if they deliver a message for him. Unknown to them, Avalon is plotting to get William of Orange on the throne and depose James II. Jackie is reluctant and her pride at being caught is smarting to the extent that she wants to kill him, but this job leads her down a path of many adventures and some heartbreak as she eventually decides she loves the Duke, but her own assumptions about him (and his about her) make it all seem very hopeless and tangled until almost the very end. This is a book that really defied all my expectations. I was expecting a bodice ripper. (It wasn't.) I wondered if the hero and heroine would ever have any genuine romantic moments or even have sex. (They don't.) I like being surprised by a book, even if I go in thinking I'm going to get something different. If a romance doesn't go by-the-numbers and fits into predictable categories, believe me I'm more inclined to enjoy it. This story is mainly about Angel/Jackie and her growth from a thief and pickpocket with no loyalties but to herself and her "family" to becoming a loyal supporter of King William III. It climaxes when she's forced by foreign intrigue to ruin the trust she had managed to gain with her new monarch. It all ends happily, of course, but Jackie gets hurt and has crises of conscience in the meantime about her disguise as a man vs. her female feelings, and her haphazard Catholic indoctrination by Father Liam vs. the Protestant king she has grown to know personally. The hero comes into the picture more fully during the last half of the book. His reputation is notorious, but that's all it is - a reputation based on rumor and innuendo, which he has done little to dispel in the interest of being given a wide berth in order to go about his treason. (Well, that's what it amounts to! But they're the good guys in this story.) His backstory was enough to make him quite an interesting guy, dedicated to the science of the day. His parents were scientists who traveled the world and he carries on their work in alchemy, astronomy, and other pursuits (but not astrology, you superstitious cretins). I really enjoyed the secondary characters in this one, more than I normally do. There was no secondary romance, but it was a solid cast of supporting characters including John and Sarah Churchill (Winston's ancestors), the priest Liam (who was aggravating and endearing at the same time - he's basically a drunken sot, a coward, and fiercely loyal to Jackie), and the Jewish armorer Simon Martín, friend to the hero and loyal to Jackie in his own right. The villain and villainess were rotten to the core (the latter being Jackie's own mother), but they were lip-smackingly delicious to read. While there was rape, the author didn't blow off the effect it had on Jackie. She's laid low by it, feels dirty and ruined and is listless. It's not dwelt upon for pages and pages, but the reader is given a short vignette of how the next few weeks after the event pass. Since this isn't really a typical romance, it'll probably be easier to simply list the reasons why some might want to avoid it, because I suspect that it hits quite a few pet peeves out there: * the heroine is disguised as a boy for most of the book and manages to fool nearly everyone * the hero has those "funny feelings" about the lad and gets annoyed with both him and the heroine * the heroine gets raped, twice, by the bad guy * the hero and heroine don't have sex at all, and only kiss once (I think) * the only sex in this book has one or both of the bad guys doing it (and earlier, the heroine's father) * the heroine dresses as a girl to charm the hero (whom she hates) and he has no idea it's Jackie * there's an emphasis on adventure and the heroine's character rather than a binary romance * the supporting cast has lots of face time, although it's usually with either the hero or the heroine present So it wasn't what I expected, but I loved it. Not amazingly brilliant, but very very enjoyable. It took place during a period I haven't read much about (the "Glorious Revolution") and did it in an engaging way. 4.5 stars This book review has been provided by the No Book Left Behind Campaign!

A well-written and fun story until book four when the author tries a direction that doesn’t work and the whole thing falls apart. Kind of frustrating. Also, people give this too much credit for being “like a comic book.” If that’s what you want, read a fucking comic book. This is a good book, leave it at that.

It was a great story but I enjoyed the character developement better in the last one. I like it better when the fairys need Artemis not the other way around. This book really got me excited about the next one, I can not wait to read it.

Serah SanGermano was 1st introduced in book 1 of the series Demons Prefer Blondes and in that book the author hinted that there was much more to her character than what she seems to be. Something's going on with Serah because things seem to heat up when she's around. When I say heat up and I really mean that. She keeps this info to herself and isn't very happy when Matthias Ambrose is assigned to be her bodyguard because Serah is actually pretty important. She just doesn't know it yet and is irritated when Matthias is around because not only does she not want him there but because she is extremely attracted to him. He just screams trouble and Matthias has his eye on Serah as well. They actually share a past, one that Serah doesn't remember and there's a good reason why. Yes I'm being vague in this review and it's because I don't want to give anything away. But as the story flows she learns more about herself and exactly how Matthias fits into her life. The characters from the first book in the series Demons Prefer Blondes also make appearances throughout the book. Overall, I found the story to be entertaining at times and felt that the author's writing was great, but I had a hard time connecting with Serah and Matthias. For me there just seemed to be something missing that I just can't put my finger on. There were times where I wasn't enjoying the storyline and times when I found myself laughing at what was happening. I don't think I was able to get fully vested into the storyline because my feelings for it weren't consistent.
